Hi Bob.

IFTTT is great and although at first it may seem a bit daunting, once you begin to set up your 'recipe', you will see that it is not complicated at all.

I have many alerts covering many sites that update me when a new topic is opened. My setups are quite simple - I primarily use RSS to Email and also RSS to iOS notification 'recipes'. What you need to find is the RSS address for the page that you are looking to track, then just plug that RSS address to the recipe (THIS) and select what you want for the outcome as far as an alert or notification (THAT).

If THIS then THAT.

I used to get a dozen notifications a day although lately this has slowed down considerably for some reason.

Really simple - If you need further info, just ask.
